Could someone quote the code or requirement for anti-oxidant for aluminum main feeder conductors in a panel?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, no.
That is because there is no code which requires the use of anti-oxidant on aluminum conductors in terminals.
It is 'good practice', 'best practice', and even 'recommended practice' of workmanship when terminating aluminum conductors, and field experience has shown it to be helpful in reducing corrosion when aluminum conductors are use.
However, the code is a minimum requirement code, as are all codes, and the minimum requirements do not require the use of anti-oxidant for aluminum conductor terminations.
